Ice Baths

Why Have an Ice Bath at Home?

An ice bath, or cold plunge, is a few minutes in very cold water. Many people use one after training to help them feel ready for the next session, and many more simply love the clear headed, wide awake feeling afterwards. Having your own ice bath at home means you can plunge whenever you like, without a gym membership or bags of ice from the supermarket.

Which Type of Ice Bath Is Right for You?

Inflatable ice baths like the Winthera Flex are light, affordable and pack away when you are not using them. Barrel ice baths like the Winthera Arctic Barrel sit upright in a small footprint, with a stainless steel tub and red cedar cladding that looks good in the garden. Acrylic ice baths let you lie back for full body immersion. For gyms and serious daily use, the Winthera Ice Bath Pro has the chiller built in. Browse our cold plunge tubs to compare them.

Do You Need a Chiller?

You can fill any tub with cold water and ice, but a chiller keeps the water at the exact temperature you set, every day, with no ice to buy. The Winthera Ice Master Light cools to 3°C, the Ice Master cools to 0°C, forms real ice and heats up to 42°C, and the Thermotec X-Ice cools to 4°C and heats to 40°C. See all our ice bath chillers or our ice baths with chillers.

Use Your Ice Bath Safely

Cold water immersion is not for everyone. If you have a heart condition, high blood pressure or are pregnant, check with your GP before you start, build up slowly and never use an ice bath alone.

I’ve spent most of my life getting children active – in schools, sports clubs, and back gardens. Now I’m sharing simple, practical ways to help your kids build strength, balance, and joy through play.

I work closely with our suppliers to make sure every product we offer encourages real, active play. I’ve visited ACON in Finland and spent time on their trampolines with their R&D team – seeing first-hand how much care and testing goes into every jump. That partnership helps us choose the kind of products that genuinely last – and bring the most fun to family gardens.
